How to make a Christmas candle holder
Step one
Using a stiff-bristled brush, clean off any dirt and dust from the pinecones.
Step six
Apply two coats of Resene Aquaclear to the pinecones, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.
Step seven
Stick the candles to the base of the glass bowl with blu-tack and arrange the pinecones around the base, as shown.
Step eight
Arrange the tinsel around the edge of the glass bowl, as shown.
Always ensure lit candles are under adult supervision. Always extinguish all candles before going to sleep. Replace candles when they are at least 20mm from the top edge of the candleholder.
